Fatiando a Terra Data: British Columbia, Canada - Lidar point cloud

This is a point cloud sliced to the small Trail Islands to the North of Vancouver to reduce the data size. The islands have some nice looking topography and their isolated nature creates problems for some interpolation methods, like simple nearest neighbours.

Note: This is a processed and formatted version of the source dataset below. It's meant for use in documentation and tutorials of the Fatiando a Terra project. Please cite the original authors when using this dataset.

Changes made: Cut out a section of the original data to focus only on these small islands; Change UTM coordinates to geodetic latitude and longitude (WGS84); Keep only the ground reflection picks; Export to a compressed CSV for easier loading with Pandas.
